CAUTION
Never turn off the main power switch when the power LED is lit or flashing.
To avoid damaging the hard disk or memory, press the operation power
switch to switch the power off, wait for the power LED to go off, and then
switch the main power switch off.
NOTE: The main power LED (
) lights or flashes while the platen cover or

Definition
To prevent damage to the machine, the main
machine cannot be operated until the SC has
been reset by a service representative (see the
note below).
SCs that disable only the features that use the
defective item. Although these SCs are not
shown to the user under normal conditions,
they are displayed on the operation panel only
when the defective feature is selected.
The SC history is updated. The machine can be
operated as usual.
Turning the main switch off then on resets SCs
displayed on the operation panel. These are redisplayed if the error occurs again.
Reset Procedure
Enter SP mode, and then turn
the main power switch off and
on.
Turn the operation switch or
main switch off and on.
NOTE: 1) If the problem concerns electrical circuit boards, first disconnect then
reconnect the connectors before replacing the PCBs.
2) If the problem concerns a motor lock, first check the mechanical load
before replacing motors or sensors.
